March 2024’s featured predictable astronomy events

At the start of March, Jupiter is easily visible low above the North Western horizon as soon as the sky darkens. It’s low elevation means that it is disappointing through a telescope. As March ends, it will have disappeared into the glare of the Sun. By the end of March, Mars and Saturn will be easily visible low above the Eastern horizon.

The International Space Station is visible to the unaided eye in the mid-month March 2024 mornings skies. Exact times and dates will vary for your location across Eastern Australia. More information and links to finder charts can be found here.
